macro auto global processing
macro auto global processing
Use the macro auto global processing global configuration command to enable Auto SmartPorts
macros on the switch. Use the no form of this command to disable Auto SmartPorts (ASP) macros
globally.
macro auto global processing [cdp | lldp]
no macro auto global processing [ cdp | ldp]
Note Starting with Release 15.0(2)SG, the fallback option has been deprecated.
Syntax Description
Defaults Auto Smartports is disabled.
Command Modes Global configuration
Command History
Usage Guidelines Use the macro auto global processing global configuration command to globally enable Auto
Smartports macros on the switch. To disable ASP macros on a specific port, use the no macro auto
processing command in the interface mode before ASP is enabled globally.
Auto Smartports macros dynamically configure ports based on the device type detected on the port.
When the switch detects a new device on a port it applies the appropriate ASP macro. When a link-down
event occurs on a port, the switch removes the macro. For example, when you connect a Cisco IP phone
to a port, ASP automatically applies the IP phone macro. The IP phone macro enables quality of service
(QoS), security features, and a dedicated voice VLAN to ensure proper treatment of delay-sensitive
voice traffic.
ASP uses event triggers to map devices to macros. The most common event triggers are based on
Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) messages received from connected devices. The detection of a device
invokes a CDP event trigger: Cisco IP phone, Cisco wireless access point, Cisco switch, or Cisco router.
Other event triggers use MAC authentication bypass (MAB) and 802.1X authentication messages.
Use CDP if port authentication is enabled and the RADIUS server does not send an event trigger.
Select LLDP to apply auto configuration if authentication fails.
If authentication is enabled on a port, a switch ignores CDP and LLDP messages unless the cdp keyword
is enabled.
cdp Selects CDP as fallback mode.
lldp Selects LLDP as fallback mode.
